Bruce Arena released the USA's 40-man preliminary roster for the Gold Cup on Saturday night, and some intriguing names stand out.

FC Dallas goalkeeper Mexican-American Jesse Gonzalez, who was reported to have chosen Mexico as his international allegiance, is on the roster, and should he play in the Gold Cup for the USA, he would be cap-tied. FS1's Stuart Holden confirmed on the broadcast of the USA-Venezuela friendly that Gonzalez would accept the call-up if he makes the final 23-man roster, which must come from this 40-man group. The final roster will be revealed on June 27.

Also of note are the inclusions of Israeli-eligible Kenny Saief, NYCFC midfielder Tommy McNamara and Sporting Kansas City forward Dom Dwyer, who became a U.S. citizen earlier this year. Kekuta Manneh, who earned his U.S. citizenship earlier this year as well, was not included, nor were veteran U.S. midfielders Benny Feilhaber, Sacha Kljestan and Danny Williams.
